The Whip of the God of Basketball

Chapter 13: It‘sallover

  Pitino looked at Leon. He was a handsome mixed-race, wearing a simple white T-shirt with some scars on his face. It seemed that he did fight frequently before.

Pitino himself is considered a sports expert. He scanned Leon’s figure slightly and found that his figure is really not like a basketball player. The finger joints are thick and callous, the deltoid muscles are well developed, and the neck is thicker than ordinary people. He is a person who has been engaged in fighting training for a long time.

However, he has an impressive pair of eyes, pure black, black bottomless, like the quiet Lake Wald in the dark, which forms a sharp contrast with his wild and handsome face, Pitino stared As he watched for a while, he turned his eyes away unconsciously, as if he was going to be sucked in by these eyes.

   These black eyes were inherited from Leon's Chinese great-grandmother, and the tranquility and courage that followed came from the soul of this body.

   "Go on, Mr. Pitino, twenty minutes is not long." Leon reminded Pitino.

   Pitino nodded, and began to paint on the blackboard, condensing his basketball life on this small blackboard.

Pitino started his basketball coaching career at the University of Hawaii in 1974. He has worked as an assistant and head coach at the University of Hawaii, Syracuse University, Boston University, New York Knicks, and University of Kentucky. From a trivial person to the United States The champion coach of basketball, no matter what failures he has encountered in the Celtics in recent years, his coaching level and coaching philosophy are beyond doubt.

Pitino became more and more devoted. He was not only talking to Leon, but also to Auerbach, and even more to himself. His love and devotion to the sport of basketball over the past 30 years has contributed to this The in-depth analysis of the game where ten people revolve around a ball was presented as much as possible in these twenty minutes.

"The figure-of-eight running tactic makes full use of pick-and-rolls and off-the-ball running. The focus of this tactic is that we have at least two excellent three-point shooters, who can pose a deadly three-point threat to the opponent at the bottom corner or 45 degrees. , The second is that our pick-and-rolls need to be of high quality. This not only provides the shooter with good shooting space, but also provides the shooter with more offensive options. After the pick-and-roll, it is a good tactical post. From this tactic, we can make these two choices..."

"The 1-2-1-1 pressing tactic can maximize the physical advantages of young players and reduce the lack of position or missing people caused by insufficient defensive experience. We usually start with a full-court lead... ..."

"The three-pointer will be the future development direction, not just to get one more point every time, but also in its tactical significance. I can say without denying that the emergence of the three-pointer will make the basketball sport Lifespan has been extended by a hundred years!"

Pitino talked to the small blackboard for an entire hour. In the end, he was no longer completing a bet. He didn't want to win. He just wanted to prove to Auerbach that his coaching philosophy was correct. It is ahead of the times. Three years of failure made him depressed for too long, and he even began to doubt whether the basketball concept he had summed up for more than two decades was correct.

   Now, in such a small office, with a small blackboard, in front of a person who does not understand basketball at all, and a person who understands basketball to become a good person, he has completely exploded.

   "This is what I want to say. As for whether this young man can figure it out, I don't care anymore, I just...I just need some more time, some opportunities..."

   Pitino put down the chalk in his hand and said, he took out the blackboard eraser and wiped all the tactical diagrams on the blackboard.

   Auerbach leaned on his cane and sat on the stool, without a trace of expression, Pitino's emotional catharsis did not seem to move him. For an old man who has experienced countless ups and downs and seen all kinds of people, there is almost nothing that can easily move them.

"It's up to you, Leon." Auerbach moved his lips. These days he always likes to call Leon "boy", "cleaner", "that person". This seems to be the first time he called Leon's name.

   Pitino waved his hand tiredly, and said, "No, it's not necessary, it's been more than twenty minutes, and I don't care about this bet, it's just a joke..."

However, Leon still stood up, walked to the blackboard, picked up a piece of chalk, and said to Pitino: "There are many unsatisfactory things in this world that make us lose and complain, and most of them come from our own ability. Insufficiency and a wrong understanding of oneself. Enlisting the sympathy and support of others can bring temporary strength, but in the end, you must solve the problem by yourself. It is never too late to improve your ability."

After speaking, Leon held up the chalk and drew five circles on the half-time simulation chart of the small blackboard, marked with five marks "SG", "PF", and "C", and then used dashed and solid arrows to mark A clear and powerful tactical position map was drawn on the blackboard.

"This is a double screen tactic. The starting point of the tactic is the shooting guard at the bottom line. He starts from the corner and moves in an arc. The center is at point A and the power forward is at point B. Double screens. The shooting guard runs to a 45-degree angle. The position of the ball is received and the ball is shot directly." Leon recounted the first tactic that Pitino explained an hour ago verbatim.

Then he added: "If point A of the center and point B of the power forward are taken as the two tangent points on the arc route of the shooting guard, then a tangent is made on A and B, and the angle a of the tangent is a It is about 30 degrees, and the distance M between A and B is about 2.5 meters. According to the curvature formula lima/M (M tends to 0), the curvature of this arc at point B is about..."

On the basis of Pitino’s tactical explanation, Leon even started mathematical derivation. Looking at the confused Auerbach and Pitino, Leon said indifferently: “Mathematics is the foundation of everything. There will be exceptions. The perfect curvature of the arc can strive for faster movement and better shot space for players."

Later, Pitino was surprised to find that Leon was repeating almost every detail he said, except for the emotional catharsis, the general direction of the tactics, the details, and even the incompleteness. Leon can repeat the changes that have been explained thoroughly.

  Moreover, the Puerto Rican’s voice is calm and powerful. He calmly hears no waves, no tension, no excitement, everything is like he has been prepared for a long time, and everything is like his personal experience in the pitch for more than ten years.

Auerbach had a smile on his face at first, and the development of things was expected. As early as three days ago, he learned that Pitino was coming to attend his opening ceremony. He also knew that Pitino was here. the goal of. Auerbach has always been competitive and vigorous, and he will do whatever it takes. Even if Pitino takes the initiative to come and ask for peace, the bishop will not give up. He must think of giving Pitino a slap in the face.

Just when Auerbach drove his golf cart and smoked cigarettes, and his mind was full of bad ideas, Leon appeared. Originally Auerbach didn’t care about the newly released labor reformer, and ended up placing chairs. At that time Auerbach discovered that this was a very smart guy.

During the next two days of getting along, the old and cunning Auerbach understood that Leon is an out-and-out memory and calculation genius. After wiping the glass of the arena yesterday, Auerbach casually asked how many pieces Leon had wiped. Glass, Leon answered 477 yuan without even thinking about it.

This arena has a total of 8 large windows, each with 60 square small glasses. Originally, there were 480 pieces of glass. Three of them were dropped because the arena was not repaired for a long time. At the same time, there is no glass of the same brand of that era. Three sandwich panels are used instead, so there are a total of 477 pieces of glass.

   By yesterday afternoon, Leon was a temporary coach. Auerbach knew from his words that he was a layman, but his command made Auerbach realize that he seemed to have a unique talent for basketball. U U Reading www.uukanshu.com

  A plan came into being in Auerbach's mind from this moment. He wanted to use Leon to embarrass Pitino, so he made this bet with Pitino after the opening ceremony.

   Pitino's inner resentment and ambition erupted on the small blackboard in the small office, but he did not expect Auerbach's trap, let alone a small person with such amazing memory and understanding ability.

As Leon began to repeat every word that Pitino had said, finally, the smile on Auerbach’s face disappeared. The pride and satisfaction began to be gradually replaced by surprise and disbelief. Leon's performance has exceeded his imagination.

This young man is not just a repeater. Auerbach can see from every sentence he says and every picture he draws. He can understand the meaning and even the meaning behind it. What a terrible comprehension ability.

   Auerbach doesn’t know if he does this in everything or only in basketball.

"The three-pointer will be the future development direction, not just to get one more point every time, but also in its tactical significance. I can say without denying that the emergence of the three-pointer will make the basketball sport Lifespan has been extended by a hundred years!"

   Leon said the last paragraph of Pitino's one-hour speech, with the same passion, even squeezing the chalk in his hand.

   Leon looked at the two people who could not speak, and said calmly: "It’sallover. (It's all over.
